IMPEACH BUSH


IMPEACH CHENEY

BUSH'S KANGAROO COURT

In the five years of his stolen presidency George W. Bush has used the word "freedom" frequently. In the meantime, Bush has been attacking international treaties, the Geneva Conventions, and our own Bill of Rights. He has established what amounts to a kangaroo court in Gitmo that would rival the courts in Nazi Germany or the old Soviet Union. This article by the Associated Press is at www.msnbc.msn.com:

The U.S. military called no witnesses, withheld evidence from detainees and usually reached a decision within a day as it determined that hundreds of men detained at Guantanamo Bay were “enemy combatants,” according to a new report.

The analysis of transcripts and records by two lawyers for Guantanamo detainees, aided by more than two dozen law students, found that hearings that determined whether a prisoner should remain in custody gave the accused little opportunity to contest allegations against him.

“These were not hearings. These were shams,” said Mark Denbeaux, an attorney and Seton Hall University law professor who along with his son, Joshua, is the author of the report. They provided an advance copy of the report to The Associated Press late Thursday and planned to release it Friday on the Internet.
